[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis Believes That He Speaks Clearly
Gloria TV ^ | September 11, 2017 | Gloria TV

Pope Francis remembers in his interview book with Dominique Wolton an old Jesuit who told him, when he was a student, "If you want to make a career, think clearly but speak in an obscure way." Francis believes that in his life, he has done the opposite, "I made an effort to speak clearly."

He even says about himself, "I hate hypocrisy, if I am not able to say something, I do not say it, but I am no hypocrite which is something that upsets me." Nevertheless, Francis did not give a reply to those four cardinals who asked him for clarity concerning the controversial document Amoris Laetitia.

His thinking is not obscure, it’s just not.

He believes incorrectly, then.
Perhaps he is speaking ex toiletta,rather than ex cathedra.

Frankie is an imbecile. Every time he opens his stupid mouth it becomes more apparent.

He does. The issue is not that he is unclear. The issue is that he is wicked and perverse.

Well, the world loves Bergoglio, and more’s the pity:

“If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.”

This pope-a-dope speaks clearly enough. We know he’s a marxist and not a Christian.

He is very clearly not a Christian, he speaks like every other Godless liberal idiot out there.

Francis lacks character, principles, and communication skills.

Francis knows exactly what he is doing. He laid the groundwork by muddying the waters over the years in his off the cuff remarks. The latest push to give Bishops more latitude in “liturgical reform” is more of his push to allow local Bishops to interpret things. What will be wrong in one parish, will be just fine in another.
